IDEX REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER ORDERS, SALES AND FREE CASH FLOW; ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF 67 CENTS

LAKE FOREST, IL, July 23 – IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.

New orders in the quarter totaled $466 million, up 4 percent over the prior year period. Sales in the quarter totaled $494 million, 9 percent higher than the prior year period. For the quarter, on an organic basis, orders were 1 percent higher and sales were 6 percent higher than the prior year period.

Second quarter 2012 operating income, adjusted for $2.6 million of restructuring related charges, was $91.2 million, resulting in an operating margin of 18.5 percent, up 30 basis points from prior year adjusted operating margin due to higher volume and improved productivity.

Excluding the impact of restructuring related charges, second quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share were 67 cents, an increase of 5 cents, or 8 percent, from prior year adjusted EPS.

Free cash flow was $71 million for the quarter, a 54 percent increase from the second quarter of the prior year due to improved working capital and higher earnings.

Second Quarter Highlights

 

 

Orders increased 4 percent compared to the prior year (+1 percent organic, +6 percent acquisition and -3 percent foreign currency translation).

 

 

Sales increased 9 percent compared to the prior year (+6 percent organic, +6 percent acquisition and -3 percent foreign currency translation).

 

 

Reported net income of $54 million was $4 million, or 8 percent, higher than the prior year. Excluding restructuring related charges, adjusted net income was $56 million or 7 percent higher than prior year adjusted net income.

 

 

Reported diluted EPS of 65 cents was 5 cents, or 8 percent, higher than the prior year EPS. Adjusted EPS of 67 cents was 5 cents, or 8 percent, higher than the prior year adjusted EPS.

 

 

EBITDA of $108 million was 22 percent of sales and covered interest expense by more than 10 times.

 

 

Free cash flow was $71 million, representing a second quarter record and 130 percent of net income. Year-to-date free cash flow continues to be strong – up 86 percent from the prior year.

 

 

The Company completed the repurchase of 626 thousand shares of common stock for $25.9 million. Year-to-date, the Company has returned $118 million of capital through share repurchases, cash dividends and the repayment of debt.

“Solid execution delivered margin expansion and record free cash flow in the second quarter. Our second quarter adjusted EPS of 67 cents fell short of our expectations, primarily as a result of weakness in Europe, as well as a 3 cent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and acquisition-related charges. North America and the emerging markets continued to experience broad based demand. The order trends have been volatile due to the uncertainty in Europe and China as well as selective end market softness, specifically within optics and photonics. The CVI Melles Griot integration is on track, however top-line pressure has resulted in lower than expected financial performance. CVI has very high contribution margins and given the current environment, we need to continue to right size their cost structure in order to drive profitability.

Despite these challenges, our focus on productivity across the organization delivered 18.5 percent operating margin and exceptional cash generation of $71 million, up 54 percent compared to the prior year period. Overall, I am pleased with the team’s ability to navigate through this challenging environment while remaining focused on our customers.

Based on current outlook, our projected third quarter 2012 EPS is in the range of 62 to 64 cents. Given the second quarter results and the challenging economic environment, we have revised our full year 2012 outlook downward – we now expect EPS of $2.65 to $2.70, excluding any future restructuring related charges and the impact from the recently announced Matcon acquisition. Full year EPS exceeding the top end of our range would be predicated on continued strong U.S. and emerging markets and a stabilization in Europe.”

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Second Quarter 2012 Business Highlights (2012 operating margin excludes restructuring related charges)

Fluid & Metering Technologies

 

   

Sales in the second quarter of $211 million reflected a 1 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2011 (+3 percent organic and -2 percent foreign currency translation).

 

   

Operating margin of 22.1 percent represented a 220 basis point improvement compared with the second quarter of 2011 due to productivity.


Health & Science Technologies

 

   

Sales in the second quarter of $171 million reflected a 21 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2011 (+3 percent organic, +19 percent acquisitions and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

 

   

Operating margin of 16.6 percent represented a 470 basis point decrease compared with the second quarter 2011 adjusted operating margin primarily due to the dilutive impact from acquisitions. Excluding the impact from acquisitions, operating margins in 2012 were up 40 basis points compared with 2011.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products

 

   

Sales in the second quarter of $116 million reflected a 10 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2011 (+15 percent organic and -5 percent foreign currency translation).

 

   

Operating margin of 23.4 percent represented a 210 basis point decrease compared with the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a $2.8 million gain on the sale of a facility in 2011. Excluding this gain from 2011, operating margins in 2012 were up 50 basis points compared with 2011.

For the second quarter of 2012, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 43 percent of sales and 46 percent of operating income; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 34 percent of sales and 28 percent of operating income; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 23 percent of sales and 26 percent of operating income.

EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, while free cash flow means cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures plus the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as internal operating metrics and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes these measures are useful as analytical indicators of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and uses them to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes. However, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other items calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The definitions of EBITDA and free cash flow used here may differ from those used by other companies.
